Board Game Arena

There's a massive 1st player advantage especially in a 2 player game which is how Arena is set for this season. There needs to be some compensation in the set up.

I would suggest 2 shields as compensation to prevent a first turn sword blitz

I would say this can be done at least 1 shield for second place 2 for 3rd so on.

2 Doubloons and 1 shield should be given to the player going 2nd.

Why not play two games at least in arena games (like in Lucky Numbers)?
